Minister Dokora applauded the Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED) for the support they give to the girl child, during a function held at Numwa Secondary school.

“We have heard testimonies from some of the young women today and some of you can witness the assistance given to some of our learners by CAMFED,” he said.

“Today we acknowledge and celebrate as a ministry a total of 10,6 million pounds as additional investments into education through CAMFED for bursaries to support 23 384 boys and girls in secondary school for three years. This is a build up from previous grants provided in 2012, 2013 and 2016 totalling 29 million pounds sourced through both the country office and the Girls’ Education Challenge Fund,” said Dr Dokora.

​

CAMFED Country Director Mrs Faith Nkala said: “To date, as I speak CAMFED has provided secondary school bursaries and supported more than 83 000 girls in Zimbabwe to go through secondary school and this year alone more than 30 000 of them are in school across 29 districts and eight provinces of Zimbabwe we partner with in this noble job,” she said.
